To prevent from carrying out repeated detection because of ring wave continued jitters, in yet other embodiments, the delays time to control Module meets the testing result reclocking of the voltage early-warning conditions based on the expression received during the timing that is delayed.Still By taking testing result is level signal as an example, referring to Fig. 6, it is shown as switch unit input terminal voltage waveform (DRAIN), corresponds to Testing result waveform (Protect) and control signal waveform (Pull-down) another embodiment in waveform diagram, Wherein, Protect high level signals expression meets the voltage early-warning conditions, and the low level signal foot with thumb down voltage is pre- Alert condition.The delays time to control module exports first control signal (control by detecting the upper jump of the testing result waveform along A1 The high level section of signal processed), and the lower jump of the testing result waveform is detected along B1 trigger timing, in the delay timing phase Between, the delays time to control module when detect it is another it is upper jump along A2 when reset timer and detect it is lower jump along B2 when open again Begin meter, until when being delayed timing time-out and the testing result waveform is continuously low level, output second control signal (control The low level section of signal processed).

It should be noted that above-mentioned delays time to control module is according to control logic combinational logic device, for example, by using logic gate The signal logic combination in any of the above-described example is realized in logical device combination with trigger, and is answered according to control logic the output phase First control signal and second control signal.

The control terminal of the switching circuit control module and the output end and the switching circuit of the delays time to control module Connection is transferred to and maintains off-state for being based on the first control signal control switching circuit, and based on described Second control signal releases maintained off-state.

In some embodiments, the voltage control that the switching circuit control module passes through the control terminal of control switching circuit Being forced property of switching circuit processed disconnects, to realize switching circuit not by the purpose of the control of other circuits in circuit system.
